This technology has been used in conjunction with other techniques to...
Digitizing Betty’s Hope Plantation, Antigua, West Indies (2013)
Betty’s Hope was a sugar plantation that operated from 1664 through 1944 in Antigua, West Indies. For the majority of that time it was owned by the Codrington family, who were already prominent in the Caribbean due to their success in enhancing the sugar industry in Barbados. This trend continued when they moved to Antigua to take possession of Betty’s Hope in 1671. Since 2007, archaeological investigations have revealed much about the plantation. Current research has turned to digital...

Disgusting Things: How Disgust Shapes Contemporary Homeless Materialities (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Poverty And Plenty In The North", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Disgust is experienced as a “gut reaction” against something (an ambiguous object) mediated through sensory experience, typically smell, touch, and sight. It is an affect that is materially grounded and results in the need to create a boundary, distance, between “self” and the object that elicits the response. While working as a contemporary...
Disregarded Ritual: A Critical Reassessment of North American Subterranean Features (2018)
This paper critically reassesses the use of subterranean features among prehistoric Native Americans of North America. A survey of the archaeological and ethnographic literature suggests that pre-historic Native Americans used subterranean features in a ritual context, although the ritual component is rarely acknowledged directly. The significance of the features becomes apparent when the context, mainly construction and artifact deposition, is considered. Many of these subterranean features...
Diversifying Heritage: A Foundation for Democratizing Heritage Production (2024)
This is an abstract from the "Democratizing Heritage Creation: How-To and When" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological practice has benefited from including diverse stakeholders in the production of narratives around heritage, which can result in democratizing heritage creation. If done well, it can lead to a more democratic production of knowledge around heritage. Democratization heritage production involves shifting power dynamics in who...
Documenting Association of Properties with the Underground Railroad (2018)
Activities related to the Underground Railroad were both ephemeral and illicit. As a result, the little direct evidence that might have existed was often destroyed or hidden. How then, can the association of a property with the Underground Railroad be established, and what does it mean for a property to have integrity? Using case studies from Boone County, Kentucky, we demonstrate how the accumulation of indirect evidence can document this association and what integrity might mean for different...
Does the Archaeology Curriculum Condemn Us to Repeat the Sins of the Past? (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Sins of Our Ancestors (and of Ourselves): Confronting Archaeological Legacies" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Despite the early prominence of indigenous archaeologists like Arthur and "Birdie" Parker, Native practitioners remain a minority in the discipline. This exacerbates an already vexed relationship between archaeologists and Native peoples. Tensions flare in cases like that of Kennewick Man / The Ancient One,...
Dog Domestication and the Dual Dispersal of People and Dogs into the Americas (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Dogs in the Archaeological Record" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Advances in the isolation and sequencing of ancient DNA have begun to reveal the population histories of both people and dogs. Over the last 10,000 years, the genetic signatures of ancient dog remains have been linked with known human dispersals in regions such as the Arctic and the remote Pacific. It is suspected, however, that this relationship has a...

"Doubled with wood in every direction": The Hull Structure and Outfitting of a Royal Navy Ship of Polar Exploration (2013)
The largely intact wreck of HMS Investigator provides a unique opportunity to study the remains of a 19th-century Royal Navy ship of polar exploration. Purchased into the Navy in 1848 while still building on the stocks as a merchant vessel, Investigator was comprehensively modified for Arctic Service at Blackwall under the supervision of William Rice, Master Shipwright at Woolwich Dockyard. These modifications focussed mainly on reinforcing the hull to better withstand the destructive forces...
Dr. Dennis J. Stanford: A Legacy of Research in Colorado Paleoindian Archaeology (2018)
I began my graduate studies in 1990, knowing I wanted to learn about the earliest human use of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. It became immediately clear that two decades of work by Dennis Stanford, much conducted with his research- and life-partner Pegi Jodry, contributed myriad bricks to the platform upon which I would construct my own body of work. Stanford’s research at early sites in Colorado spanned the chronological spectrum, from potentially pre-Clovis (Lamb Spring, Dutton and Selby), to...

EAGERs and RAPIDs – Small Grants with Big Outcomes at Surtshellir Cave, Iceland (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Celebrating Anna Kerttula's Contributions to Northern Research" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Anna Kerttula's stewardship of NSF's Arctic Social Sciences program not only expanded opportunities for large-scale collaborative research projects in the North, but also increased opportunities for supporting smaller "high risk" and "time-sensitive" projects through the EAGER and RAPID programs. These smaller projects,...
The Early Agricultural Period at La Playa, Mexico, A Geoarchaeological Investigation (2018)
La Playa (SON F:10:3), in Sonora, Mexico, has the remains of an irrigation canal system associated with the Early Agricultural period (2100 B.C.-A.D. 50), a period characterized by the development of agriculture in the southwest United States and northwest Mexico. Satellite imagery analysis and magnetic gradiometry surveys covering over 53,000 m2 of the site, document almost 8,700 m2 of agricultural fields, 15 km of irrigation canals, and over a dozen circular structures. Irrigation canals were...
